Cathy Hartt of Montrose, Colorado was on a morning walk with her dog on May 12, 2014. At a playground in Buckley Park, Hartt observed what I'm choosing to call for this article a "snow ribbon." A thin layer of snow had accumulated on a playground slide and, later, slid to the ground in a perfect shape that reminds me of that hard candy called "ribbon candy," which has colored stripes (Christmas colors during the holidays). Later the same day, Hartt posted her photo on the Facebook page of 7NEWS KMGH in Denver. It received over 35,000 Facebook "likes" and was shared on close to 16,000 pages.
